9781837651986: Capitalism: Histories

Synopsis

The different intellectual approaches gathered together in this extensive volume examine the historical development of capitalism through new historical research in different regions and national contexts. Capitalism and its dynamics can only be understood by examining the concrete conditions of socioeconomic life in a particular country, empire, or region, and such empirically and archivally driven historical analysis must be combined with a theoretical discussion of the concepts and categories used. Therefore this inquiry explores the emergence and development of capitalism in Africa, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, South Asia, East Asia, North America, and the Atlantic world, engaging with many of the major intellectual approaches for understanding it.
